@uxmark asks:
-
A7 - when overtaking pedestrians in a shared space I'd sometimes whistle while approaching them from behind.
My reasoning was
- I only want to alert them to my presence, not shoo them out of my way
- the bell is too aggressive
- voice wouldn't work; they might not understand me (because they weren't expecting to be spoken too and I didn't want to shout)
- me whistling: not aggressive and they can judge my speed from increased volumeA7 P.S.
A few points that I should perhaps clarify [it was late last night]
• I haven't been in the kind of situation I was thinking of last night for quite some time, we have mostly separate lanes here now
•I'd whistle a *tune* , not a cat-calling style whistle (sometimes I'd even sing a few bars of a random song) -

@yorkie @MartyCormack @ascentale @bikenite Years ago I passed a couple of people who were riding horses at the side of the road. They loudly told me how dangerous a spooked horse might be. I now *always* ring my bell when I see horses ahead, no matter how much room I have to pass!
